Logging on to Talapas

For UO users, your username on Talapas will be your Duck ID.  (That is, if your email address is alice@uoregon.edu, your Talapas username will be "alice".)  Your password is the same university-wide, and can be managed at the UO password reset page.

For non-UO users, you will have received a username and password in the email granting you access.

Talapas currently has two login nodes:

• talapas-ln1.uoregon.edu
• talapas-ln2.uoregon.edu

These hosts are entirely equivalent.  You can use whichever seems less busy, or use hostname talapas-login.uoregon.edu to be sent to one randomly.

If you are logging in from a Linux or Mac OS X workstation, open a terminal and type

ssh myusername@talapas-ln1.uoregon.edu

If you are logging in from Windows, download an SSH client like Putty or MobaXterm and do the equivalent.

If you are logging in from outside of the UO network or from behind a firewall, you might need to connect to the UO VPN first.

See How to Login to Talapas for more details.

...

The login nodes are for light tasks needed to set up and submit your work.  They're not for running significant applications, simulations, etc.  Processes that use a lot of memory or CPU will be killed.
